At 8pm on 27 January, join us to Light the Darkness for #HMD2025.
On Monday, people will light candles and place them safely in their windows to remember those who were murdered for who they were, and stand against prejudice and hatred today.

Today, on #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the six million Jews and others murdered under Nazi persecution. 80 years on from the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we reflect, remember, and stand against hatred.🕯️
